Oops... I'm finding that my ideas on what to build with Claude Code are not always the best... While attempting to have complete symetry across all of my devices (think picking up a conversation I started on my Mac Studio with my iPhone, then 15 minutes later picking it up on my laptop), I built a token burning monster.
And it didn't even work properly.
I looked into my history and I have been buring 24 million tokens per day and just saved 7,000,000+ per day by retiring something that doesn't work.
I wouldn't have known if I didn't ask for an audit of my tokens.
The lesson here: You may not necessarily need to upgrade to the next paid tier. Have Claude audit your token burn rate.
I retired a couple of other things after this image was taken that reduced my burn even more...
